Time for the monthly drawing recap!

In this month:

- while a storm brews above, Louise is caught in the middle of a group of Cameroceras taking refuge on the surface

- David and Frida, out on a swim together, find a group of Nostoceras that had been dragged into a corner of the fjord by the currents

- in a hidden corner of the harbor, Hilda finds one small flock of great auks, with one pair having a chick to raise
